    Battery Suggestions

    I am looking to add a second battery to my 07 210 - I have heard good things about the Optima Gell Cell Marine Batteries. Does anyone have an opinion on any other brands or which model of Optima to get?

    Your boat should already have two batteries.

          I don't know who installs the batteries now, but when I bought my new 1987 Nautique, the dealer put the battery in, not CC.

          Perhaps the dealer didn't put two in the boat. I would ask the dealer to give you another as a present.

            I would be all over my dealer for that. They should come with two.

              Dollar for amp-hour the Optima blue tops are not that great. I would look into SeaVolt or Kinetik (JC Whitney).

                If you bought a Team it should have two batteries. Take it back to the dealer and have them install a second one for you for free.
                If you are wanting to replace the batteries, go with Optima Blue Tops.

                  Also, doesn't your boat have a battery switch in it? If it doesn't you got screwed there as well.

                  Maybe you should check the Team Package and make sure you got ALL the items you were supposed to. Maybe you really didn't get a Team..........

                    Kinetik is the way to go. I have 2 of them.... Go with the HC2000. The HC2200 does give you much more for the extra $$$. Get one of their charges.
